The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.


Trompette, chanterelle and pied de mouton enter their final couple of weeks from the US. We are having a look at a fresh flush of girolles from Portugal next week. I am not hopeful. The bonkers Bulgarian
Spring white truffles still strong. We will be using our little air-freighted poly-box to have another look at how mature the Summer truffles are next week. You never know. If they are white and have no nose I’ll use them for cricket practice.
We offer a fantastic product and service between us and our all Italian manufacturers. From lanky linguine to tremendous pumpkin tortellini, and not forgetting knobbly walnut and gorgonzola gnocchi. A high end, affordable, labour saving, modern & delicious option for busy chef’s.
